I just wanted to address the pricing issues that keep coming up. There is a very large range of prices that you would heat people suggest for pets. On my server, I get fairly good prices for my pets and I am guessing on your server you can too.
I know there are plenty of people willing to be a pet whore and sell the pets cheap, especially when they are leveling up. The fact is, the people that sell pets the cheapest do one of several things: Start a new account after hitting master, switch to another class, or stop playing the game all together.

So, if you charge a good bit for your pets, don't worry about the people that are selling them cheap. They won't be around long enough to drive the price down.

I would rather sell one pet at 50K for every 5 pets that someone else sells at 10K.

Since the actual crafting part is not all that fun, I would rather be chatting or working on faction or many other things you can do in the game than sell a cheap pet.

Plus, I am generally behind on orders for pets.

My pricing?....Top Quality Rancors 100K....Standard 50K
All other top quality animals 60K
The rest fall into line with a varying pricing structure.

Point is, the best pricing you can come up with is the pricing where you feel it is worth your time to make, instead of doing something else more fun.

Lets not flame each other anymore on prices.

/agree

It always makes me laugh when I turn out to be an exception to people rules. 33k fora Rancor or Gurreckand thats after I marked it UP since I can't play as often. It used to be 25k

I sell Cheap Rancors @ 10k each. I'll sell a quality one for 40-50k (since I have to make at least 5 cheap ones to make one quality one).

The only real Time Sink I have in making pets is Sampling DNA, and I'd much rather be sampling DNA than Chasing Resources to make BE Enhancements.

btw... I sell mounts for cheap also... 3k each for Carrion Spats or Kaadus and 5k each for the rest.

greed is all this is about. sell for what you want. of course the resellers buy from you and resell but you get to know who they are of course by then they made lotsa creds <shrugs>

I guess that I fall into this catagory. 2-5 K for everything other than Gruuecks and Rancors, and they are only 20-30K. Do you mind if Iparaphrase this quote in my sig?

something like:

Llvyrn
Master BE& pet whore

I have certain standards I have to meat to sell a GUrreck or Rancor, if they dont meat that, I melt them down and try again.

You will get a reputation.... Be sure the reputation you get is the one you want.

I agree, everyone will have there own prices, but all I ever tried saying was that BE's should stick together, and take advantage of the situation while its in our grasp(until vehicles come out, bye bye mounts).

And yes, your rep is on the line according to your quality of work.
